Longboarder09 Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Has anyone had a problem with the stock mounting screws for the F2 Race Ti's being too short to mount said bindings to your board? The thicker ptex topsheets seem to be an issue for me. I have never had this issue with Bombers. What would be an appropriate replacement screw/dimension that you'd recommend?

Mr.E Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Yes, depending on the insert depth it can be an issue. In such cases I generally use a pan head with washer (it also doesn't eat the disc the way the serated F2 screws do) or truss screw . You can run any old M6 into the insert to check depth and then assess how long your screw needs to be. I've used all of these in the past depending on the binding and the need: https://www.mcmaster.com/90116a305 https://www.mcmaster.com/92467a420 https://www.mcmaster.com/97654a379 Those are reference links- check your depths. You can generally find either stainless or zinc coated M6 hardware at your local hardware or Ace (you might even have a Fastenal or local specialty hardware place). Also note that F2 screws are Pozidriv, and most replacment hardware in the US is either a metric socket or Philips. Not a big deal, but use the correct driver or you'll be wearing out your screw heads. Edited February 7, 2020 by Mr.E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.E Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Also, stock F2 mounting screws are 7.5mm long, so you can reference from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
